How to fall into a deep sleep?

Ah, the dream of deep sleep! It feels impossible sometimes.

I used to have such shallow sleep, waking up tired. What helped me was cutting out all screens an hour before bed and consistently going to bed and waking up at the same time, even on weekends. It takes a while, but it works!

Ho na, deep sleep is like a luxury these days. I found that doing some light stretching and listening to soft classical music helps me unwind before bed. It calms the mind, toh sleep achhi aati hai.

The key to deep sleep is consistency and creating a 'sleep sanctuary'. Keep your bedroom only for sleep and intimacy. No work, no TV. Also, try to finish your last meal at least 2-3 hours before bed. Your body needs to be able to focus on rest, not digestion.

At Apollo Hospitals, my sleep specialist told me to actively create a wind-down routine. They said to ask about any supplements like magnesium if diet isn't enough, but only after proper blood tests. Don't self-medicate, ask your doctor clearly.

I always worry if I'm getting enough deep sleep, you know? Like, is my brain really resting? Does anyone else feel that anxiety? I try all the tips but sometimes still wake up feeling tired.

For me, getting a good workout in the morning or early evening helps immensely. Then, an hour before bed, no work, just reading or light chores. It signals to your body that the day is done. Also, ensure your room is completely dark.
